“Each artist will give a 10-minute presentation about their organization,” Rubin said. “How it started, what their focus is, and how they operate.”

Rubin said as curator, he oversees the museum’s contemporary art collection and organizes exhibitions. He is the liaison between the museum and the San Antonio contemporary art and artist community. He said he regularly attends as many art openings around town as possible.

“Students can learn how artists have succeeded as entrepreneurs providing spaces for San Antonio’s artists to exhibit and sell their work,” Rubin said. “They can learn about venues that may be new to them. Students are always welcome to attend the art openings at these artist-run spaces.”

Rubin said he has been active in contemporary art for 30-plus years. He received a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from the University of California at Los Angeles and a master’s degree in art history from Harvard University.

He began working in the International Association of Art Critics in 1980. He curated the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans from 2000-2006.
